Protest at Pelosi's

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - June 16 - Protesters demonstrated in front of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco office to protest her support for the policies of the Israeli government. The protest was held on the 16th of the month in memory of Rachel Corrie a peace activist murdered while attempting to keep a Palestinian house from being destroyed. According to the organizers of the protest, similar demonstrations will be held on the 16th of each month in front the offices of other Bay Area politicians.

The protest was also intended to educate the American public on Israel's use of US tax dollars to enforce and expand it's occupation of Palestinian lands. US tax dollars, in addition to supporting the more obvious forms of oppression, are being used to build an infrastructure of occupation including bypass roads that can only be used by settlers, and a wall that is twice as high and three times as long as the Berlin wall according to Wendy Campbell the director of "Truth: Exposing Israeli Apartheid" and one of the protest organizers.
